Thanks, Tempy! It's been a consideration for awhile.

Any recreation gear can be included.....ie. bikes, skis, snowboards, etc.

Port Alberni Swap Meet at Canal Beach. Sat May 6th 1-4pm

There's at least nine kites coming down in my vehicle from friends dropping off their kites, including an OR Flite (12M), North Rebels 6 & 9 to sell, plus whatever windsurfing gear we are selling. Our local SUP dealer friend will be there too with gear.
Hoping for sun and wind.
